She Probably viii.


At II O'Clock yesterday forenoon a chamber
window in house on Elizabeth street east
was raised and a snow shovel was pushed out.
Hard after the shovel was female head, and
after the head came the body of woman
about 40 years old. She had seen the warn
lngs about cleaning of the roofs. and as soon
as she was fairly out of the window she began
work. 1t was lean to-" with q pitch of
about As degrees, and she had not been at
work two minutes when boy came along the
alley and called out:
''Got the toboggan craZe?'
''You go ~ she answered.
"Perhaps you are going to practice a little
before taking in the regular slide, :" he con-
tInued, as he backed against the fence
'Thats pretty fair slide, but where's your

"Boyw she said, as she leaned on the shovel
and looked down at him, ''you 60 away, or
Ill call the policen'
''But what can the police do? Am l sass

She lifted up another shovelful, but the ex-
ertion caused her to clip. and she got ratified
and called to the boy:
''Say! say 1 can't get back to the window ~

She uttered wild yell, let go of the shovel.
and the next instant body of white, which
was probably snow. and a body of darker
color which must have been the woman,
went down the long roof all mixed up. The

tim Der in this country. The rapidity
with which the forests are being destroyed
for lum Der, railroad ties and other things
is calculated to astOnisn those who have
not given the matter much attention.
Another reason is that drOughts and
floods are pretty certain to follow the de-
struction Of theforests, and as both are
productive Of great ruin the utmost care
should be exercised not only 10 prevent
timber from being wasted, but also to re-
place it 70 great extent.
The waste that has been going on in the

quickly as possible. Magnificent trees

no longer Of use for lum0er The impress

something Is done TO check the unneces-

it was a very successful one. He deliv-
cred semi-religious lecture on charac-

There 10 phase OF life at the so1.a
which not only gives occasion for earnest
thought, but tor serious alarm. Wneu the
war closed, and for a number OF yesrs
after, the changed condition Of affairs ed
manTyouRE men 70 believe that the cities
and towns Afforded me best hslds for max
Ing living. Farms and farm houses
were in -uius, labor was disOrgaaized,
and there seemed 20 be no profit IN till
lag the gFoGad. To very great
extent, therefore, young men sought the
centres or population, while their fathers
rented the farms 70 negroes. Many found
employment as clerks in stores, others
entered some one OF the learned profess
sions. As rule, the clerks received
small salaries, and when the busy season
was over their occupation was gone until
the return of fan. In the summer months
some went back to the farms and engaged
In Irregular work, bat the majority re-
manned upon the scene OF their sDasmodic
careers as clerks and kicked their shins
in idleness. Those who entered profess
sional life Jared no better than the clerks.
A few made fame and fortune, but by far
the greater number barely succeeded in
keeping up the union between body and
soul.
The example set by these young men
was contagious, because the exodus from
the farms continues, and every year
there is large increase in the number
OF poorly paid clerks and half starved
lawyers and physicians. In recent years
the activity in mining, manufacturing,
and railroad building has been an addi-
tional inducement to young men to seek
the centres Of population. This was
never so apparent as at present. The
dazzling stories of rapidly acquired for
tunes in the pursuits just mentioned
have caused rush OF young men to the
cities and towns that is astonishing, and
70 which there seems no end.
The exodus from the farms has two I'M
fortunate results. One is that the farms
suffer and the other is that thelpursuIts
open to young men in the cities and towns
yearly become more crowded, thus less
ening the opportunities for acquiring a
competency. The exodus ought TO stop.
1t ls based upon a fallacy. Young
men who remain on The farms and
cultivate them intelligently and industri-
ously are much more likely TO make for
tunes than those who seek a livelihood in
the cities and towns. Besides, the pros
perity OF the country depends upon the
prosperity OF the farming interest, and
unless farmers and the sons Of farmers
do their duty the country cannot prosper.

The Hotel Project Again.


The impression is gaining ground that
il the right kind of an effort is made the
money necessary to build a first-class
hotel in this city can be secured. Every
body wants the hotel, and there is plenty
OF uninvested capital here. Within the
last month or two several hundred thou
sand dollars have been subscribed to loan
and insurance companies, and securities
have advanced, because OF the large de-
mand for them, three or four cents on the
dollar. No better evidence is needed to
prove that there is large amount of
money here unInvested, and that all that
is wanted for a hotel could be obtained
IL the right kind OF an effort were made to
get 1t.
If some one in whom the public has en-
tire confidence, and who has the sort of
ability required to work up enterprises
of this character, were selected to pre-
sent the hotel scheme to the public, and
to solicit subscriptions for it, there is
good reason for thinking that he would
succeed IN acco mplishing the desired
object.
A day or two ago, when prominent
citizen spoke to MIR. II. B. Hollins, Vice
President of the Central railroad, about
the need of first-class hotel here, DIR.
Holllns said that he realized that it was
the very thing that was required TO give
the city big boom. He was 80 enthusiast
tic about 1t, and was so confident that ii
would pay good interest on money in
vested in it, that he an nounced himself as
ready TO subscribe $4,000 toward 1t al
once.
lfa New York man is willing TO put
$4,000 into hotel here, now can our own
people excuse themselves for not SUB
scriblng literally toward an enterprise
that will be or 50 much benefit TO their
town, besides paying them a good diYi-
dend on their investment There are
other New YORK men, doubtless, who Will
subscribe to a hotel here if they are given
the opportunity. Some time ago the Onion
Society proposed to put large sum in a
hotel, and IL Is not improbable that it Is
still ready TO subscribe a handsome sum.
Ths railroads can De depended upon for a
big sum each. The more this hotel
scheme is thought of tue clearer becomes
the conviction that tue thing to make IL
a success 10 energy, coupled with clear
appreciation Of what is necessary TO be
